Nothing too unusual for some Saturday baking when I made a dozen Chocolate Fudge cupcakes with Pink Vanilla Frosting (I love that they have this; testament that little girls everywhere are turning five every day) (both store bought).
(You can imagine what they look like, I'm sure, but here are some pictures because, well.. they're pretty.)
After the first dozen, though, I decided I wanted to use the caramel left over from the crepe post a few posts back and incorporate it somehow. Since there seems to be a bake-it-into-the-middle-of-the-cupcake theme on this blog--cookie dough, Nutella--I decided I'd do the same.
When they had finished baking, I "frosted" them with what was left of the caramel (which went a long way, I was surprised), and also with dark chocolate shavings.
When I bit into one I found that the caramel had sunk to the bottom of the cupcake. I'm not sure why this surprised me; it's pretty usual MO for a bake-it-in-the-middle-of-the-cupcake. Obviously, this doesn't make them the easiest things to eat, but the flavors were brilliant together.
A lovely Saturday bake indeed.
